Resuuection
The first day of spring has
come and gone. March, which
assuredly came In like the pro­verbial
lion. has gone Oll t. if not
quite like a lamb, at least like a
tolerably gentle sheep. Old
Father Rochester grows young
again as he shakes the frost ant
of his stiff limbs, and hails the
fine weather with a youthful
heart.
Every year beholds the same
phenomena of rebirth. The
robin sings his special spring
song, the elms and maples throw
off their cold lethargy, stretch,
and burst forth with swelling
buds; crocuses raise their pretty
heads on lawns of emerald green.
l\ature is throbbing with hushed
acti\'ity like a woman wishing to
conceal a little longer some glori­ous
secret, yet re\'ealing it in
e\'e ry action.
The awakening, though ever
old. is ever new. It is always full
of promise of joy to come.
Everything looks brighter in the
radiant sunlight and the world
seems very good. All men',;
hopes, Ihoughts and plans are
colored by the prevailing mood,
and cven the soft langour of the
warm days brings a drowsy
sense of comfort and well-being.
In the season of the natural
resurrection comes the feast of
the supernatural Resurrection
from the dead. So often has the
analogy been drawn betweel~
nature's re-awakening to life and
the soul's release from the death

sympathize deeply in the gri
that has come to Dorothy M

Power of the Drama
The power of the drama is ex­plained
by its being concerned
with what appeals to the univer­sal
heart of man. no less than the
common impulse of humanity to
express emotion outwardly by
gesture. facial expression and
other action. Since these are
both rooted in man's very being,
we are not surprised to be able
to trace the origin of this form
of art back over thousands of
years to the most ancient days of
Greece. There at the foot of a
rude altar. drama beg-an. If the
origin in Roman life is not quite
i'O delinite. it is nevertheless cer­tain
that the drama there, too.
was early connected with religi­ous
and other ceremonials. With
the rise of Cbristianity the dra­matic
impulse also kept pace and

down through the moralities and
interludes. Finally came the full
.flower of English genius in
Elizabethan days, and Shakes­peare
made his bow. Xever since
those days, in English speaking
cOllntries or elsewhere. has quite
this e:tcellcncc of romantic drama
been reached. but the interest of
the public and of literary men ha~
not flagged in regard to the dra­matic
art.
The re.1Son for the popularity
oi the drama is not hard to
ascertain. The human intellect
seizcs more easily lIpon the con­crete
than upon the abstract. and
with greater facility upon the
abstract if embodied in the con­crete.
This is where the drama
e;-:cels. The drama presents
action. something done. The
soul of the hero passes from one
state to another. but under the
influence of conditions which are
k e:tternal and \'isible, and the
~tagcs of the passage of the soul
o from evil to good, or \'ice \'ersa,
are concretely portrayed through
::I the action of the play. Here is
an appeal not only to the mind.
.to gra~p a problem, hut to the eye
as well, to see the problem
worked out. :\(orco\'er, no other
art can call on so many assistants
as the drama commands, viz; in
the art of the spoken word. of
doo)r:ltion, of scenic effects. of
costumes. and frequently of
music. To lise a bit of psycbol­ogy,
it reaches both the eye­minded
and the ear-minded.
But. besides the elementary
:- defight of man in action. and the
II aPPeals to eye and ear. the
"" approach to the mimI is different

an intense impression.
Of the two great classes of
drama. tragedy and comedy. each
ha~ a powerful and special appeal
of its own. Tragedy has an ele­mental
greatness with the fore­~
hadowing of a fatal outcome and
is made peculiarly potent by the
fact that the tragic QtltCOme is
rooted in the hero's own charac­ter.
Comed)' gi\'es man relief
from the world of reality. for
while it apes reality, i' tre.1ts the
emotions superficially. ne\"er go­ing
below the surface to the
sombre truth. and practically any­thing
may happen. within artis­tic
reason. the more sudden and

comedy.

Power of the Drama
The power of the drama is ex­plained
by its being concerned
with what appeals to the univer­sal
heart of man. no less than the
common impulse of humanity to
express emotion outwardly by
gesture. facial expression and
other action. Since these are
both rooted in man's very being,

years to the most ancient days of
Greece. There at the foot of a
rude altar. drama beg-an. If the
origin in Roman life is not quite
